Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, who is visiting Ladakh, reiterated that "China has taken the land of the people in the area".
"The concern here is of course that China has taken the land... people say that the Chinese army has entered the area and their grasslands have been taken away, but the prime minister said no an inch," he said. The land has been taken away, but that's not true, you can ask anyone here.

"There have been a lot of complaints from the people of Ladakh, they are not satisfied with the status they have been given, they want representation and there is a problem of unemployment... people are saying that the State should not be ruled. ruled by the bureaucracy, but the state should be ruled by the voice of the people..."
